Class 3C finished studying light, optics and optical illusions by using acrylic paints to camouflage our hands with the fur and feather patterns of our favourite animals. It was a challenging, fun and messy afternoon!
Dear Nelson Mandela School Community,
It is with great pleasure that I inform you that our debating team, made up of Julia Dannemann, Mark Braasch, Alec Dent, James Keogh, Meret Weber and Yara Abdel-Ghany, has won all three debates and are the winners of this year’s Debating Matters for the second year running. The topics they debated for, or against, were:
- “Humanity should fear advances in artificial intelligence”
- “Technological progress will not solve society's environmental issues”
- “Childhood vaccinations should be compulsory”
- “We should accept the risk inherent in contact sports”
Here are pictures from the wonderful Kunqu Chinese theatre performance by the Year 9-10 Drama Elective class (WPU) at P30 on 15 February 2017.

Viele Schüler_innen der Nelson-Mandela-Schule haben in den Winterferien 2017 das bunte Angebot an Aktivitäten der Ferienbetreuung genutzt. So wurde in der vergangenen Woche winterlich gebacken, gekocht und gebastelt. Außerdem standen Ausflüge in die Villa Oppenheim (Thema: Wie sah das Leben in der Steinzeit aus? – siehe Fotos), auf die Bowlingbahn und Rodeln im Volkspark Wilmersdorf auf dem Programm.
On the 26th of January 2017, the annual Winter Concert took place in the Primary Aula. The performance included the school band led by Mr. Langlotz, featuring students from 5th to 8th grade and various numbers by the Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Music school, such as choir performances and piano pieces.
Altogether the concert included a lot of talented young musicians and gave an incredible insight into the music education of our school. Events such as this one strengthen the bond between the primary and secondary campus. Furthermore they help enable the students becoming more self-confident and proud of their achievements.
The P23 Musical AG performed excerpts from The Wizard of Oz on Wednesday, 25 January 2017. Pictures by Florian Lonicer (the first 15) and Dieter Schaudt (the last three). Enjoy!
On Monday, 12 December 2016, the Nelson Mandela School Choir sang Holiday Songs at the Indian Embassy. The green choir shirts were donated to the choir by the Friends of The Nelson Mandela School. The choir is grateful for their initiative.
We continue to thank the Friends and the Nelson Mandela community for their continued support. Happy New Years to you all.

ein ereignisreiches, turbulentes Jahr, sowohl was unsere Schule betrifft, wie auch die Ereignisse in der gesamten Welt, geht nun langsam dem Ende entgegen.
Etwas – hoffentlich – stillere und besinnlichere Tage liegen nun vor uns; eine Zeit, das alte Jahr Revue passieren zu lassen, gute Ereignisse und nicht so gute Ereignisse sich nochmals in Erinnerung zu rufen und möglichst daraus zu lernen, abzuwägen, was war mein Anteil an den Ereignissen und was hätte ich anders, vielleicht besser machen können?
The Ampelparty on Wednesday, 30 November 2016 was a lot of fun – even though it was drizzling and chilling cold.
Der Montag nach den Herbstferien begann dieses Jahr ein wenig anders als sonst. Viele schaurig verkleidete Kinder strömten in ihre Klassen und freuten sich auf einen Schultag mit ein bisschen Halloween Spirit. Gefeiert wurde in den Flex- Klassen, in einigen 3. und 4. Klassen und am Nachmittag wurde von den Pädagogen der 5ten und 6ten Klasse eine Halloween-Party organisiert.
Am 30.09.2016 fand an der B24 unsere Campusrallye statt. Um 08:45 Uhr trafen sich alle B24 Schülerinnen und Schüler in der Turnhalle. Aufgeregt warteten sie auf die Verkündung der zuvor ausgelosten Teams.
